Phone Hack Issues
Simmerqueen:
Okay, me again (BTW how do I get to go from Asinine Airhead to Corpulent Cretin? I like that one better!! ::)) I run UNI, NL, OFB, H&M (most recent, running from this disk). Have teleporter shrub, stay things shrub, and collegeclock - no CC. Just installed phonehack and autoyak (OFB version) and the following things are happening:
- Sims can't dial out for anything, but they can receive calls.
- When I click on call Sim, the action joins the queue briefly, then drops out.
- No menu items appear for "Call Friends" or "Call family", but the one to set the ringer is there
- I am not getting the "We haven't talked in ages" annoying calls and when family/friends call the Sim will continue the conversation until the relationship score hits 100.
One thing I'm not sure if it's related: Teen was invited to community lot, went and met date, decided to go steady, bought clothes, etc. Called the taxi to go home - she could place the call but when the taxi came she did not recognize it, the action didn't join the queue and I couldn't click on it for her to get in. Had to exit and lose progress to get home. :(
Any ideas? The other hacks I mentioned are all working fine. Thanks in advance for your help.

I replied in your other thread but I don't mind repeating myself.
Call Friend and Call Family only show up when you click on the Sim, not on the phone. Can't help with the rest, sorry.
Edit: Could there be something keeping the sim from reaching the phone? If it's blocked by something it will fall out of the cue

H&M doesn't use the OFB engine. Try another version of the phone hack, perhaps Seasons?

Those are features. Sims will no longer bother you if they don't plan to actually converse. Relationship scores are kept high to make it easy to get and maintain friendships without calling the same sim over and over when Social need is maxed. Tell them to hang up if the call is taking too much time.

I'm interested to see if anyone has any ideas about this since I am having the same issue with the community lot and taxi problems when the phone hack is installed. I have been avoiding it since most of my sims have cars, but I can't for the life of me figure out what the problem is. (I'm running off of Seasons, though.)

So even if I'm not running Seasons I might need the Seasons version of the phone hack because of H&M?
Great, that means some features are working and if I get the correct version I might be okay.
